Which Sleeping Position Is Best For You
Rocky Mountain Mattress wants to know through this little un official poll we are conducting - Which is best for you, i.e. stomach, side or back?
The way you sleep at night can have a profound impact on your health and how you feel when you wake up. Sleeping positions can also show a correlation between the way you sleep and your personality. Studies have shown that sleeping on your stomach with your arms extended by your head aids in digestion. Sleeping on your back leads to a bad night’s rest and snoring. Take a look at the different sleeping positions and the affect they have on your personality.
If only we could all sleep like a baby huh?
Fetal Position-In this position, you lie curled up in a ball and clench a pillow. This is the most popular sleeping position. It represents someone who is appears to be tough on the outside, but it shy and sentitive on the inside.
Soldier Position-You sleep in the soldier position if you lie flat on your back with your arms directly at your sides. This sleeping position represents someone who sets high standards for themselves and those around them, but remains quiet and reserved. It leads to poor sleep and snoring.
Starfish Position-If you lie flat on your back with your arms and legs extended, you sleep in the starfish position. Although it indicates a good listener and someone who makes friends easily, it also leads to poor sleep and snoring.
Freefall Position-This is not a very common sleeping position. This sleeping position is where you lie flat on your stomach with your arms by your head or ears. It represents someone who is brash and gregarious outwardly. However, criticism makes them very nervous and sensitive inwardly. Although this is not a common sleeping position, it has been found to aid in digestion.
Log Position-Do you lie on your sides with your arms by your sides and your legs extended? If you do, you sleep in the common log position. This position indicates that you are social and easygoing.
Yearner Position-This position is similar to the log position, but with your arms extended as well. It indicates someone who is cynical and suspicous.

•Always place your baby flat on his or her back when laying them down for a sleep - placing babies in this position has been found to reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome or cot death) by up top 70%.
•Your baby’s cot should be fitted with a firm mattress and be free from any pillows, stuffed toys or mobiles that have the potential to cause suffocation.
•Lay your baby so that his or her feet touch the bottom of their cot and use a combination of blankets and sheets instead of a duvet.
•Tuck the covers firmly under the mattress in such a way that the blankets and sheets only reach your baby’s shoulders - this will keep their body warm while preventing them from wriggling underneath.
•When your baby starts to roll over and move around he or she will begin to adopt the sleep position they find most comfortable and although you should still place them on their backs when you put them down for a nap you should not move them if they roll over during the night.
•Although the current recommendation is to lay babies to sleep on their back, if you have been advised otherwise by your healthcare professional due to a condition your baby, has you should always follow their advice.
